So, I have been struggling with a good way to store my acrylic paints. I feel like they have always been a mess and extremely hard to find the colors I have. As you can see below, I have bought the same colors multiple times, not even meaning to.

I just had to figure out a solution. So I decided to put my glowforge to work!

The supplies you will need for this project are:

Glowforge (or other laser engraver)

1/8 inch plywood. I used Utility Plywood from Home Depot. The sku is 0000-833-096.

So first I began by creating the file, if you will be just using my FREE file you can skip this part.

I used the app box-o-matic. In order to have enough place holders I went for a size of 2.5"x10.5"x18". This allowed me to have storage for 66 2oz bottles of acrylic paint! Now that is a lot of acrylic paint!

After exporting the svg of the enclosed box, I pulled it into inkscape and created the holes for the front and the back. The back holes are 1.18" and the front 1.4".
